Yes! We do take photos & videos during the lesson both from land and in the water. Often the water photographer is also an instructor and provides an added service of helping the other instructors coach. They are able to provide wave coaching and post wave coaching and assistance, and they help to keep the lesson organized. We also have someone catching the action with a camera from the shore. In order to keep this service feasible for us, we have photo packages available for purchase before & after the lesson. You will save money on these packages by purchasing your photos either in advance or on the day of your lesson. We take footage of all of our students whether they prepay for the footage or not. We do not share your photos with other parties.
